The question was impossible to answer, since you did not answer mine.

We are making progress here.
• You know the difference between a question and an opinion.
• Let's proceed to the next lesson in English, that being the definition.

intr.v. plum·met·ed, plum·met·ing, plum·mets
To fall straight down; plunge.
To decline suddenly and steeply: Stock prices plummeted.

Stocks are not plummeting when the S&P 500 drops 2% over 3 days (1% over 5 days). Those are mild pullbacks, not even a correction yet. That index is up about 29% or so for the last 12 months. If you invested then you are still up 29% instead of 31%.

No we are not. You still don't know how to answer one.

I've been an investor since 1975. Not only are you correct (market is having a snit due to the Fed's omission of *considerable time* and GDP being under *expectations* by one-half of one percent), but the market has come too far, too fast. A 10% pull back over a moderate amount of time wouldn't be a huge deal, IMO.


Traders are sorta like the *pure conservatives* and they get to vote 5 days every week.

Also, have you noticed the sudden number of articles telling us the market is better under Dems, the market is less volatile under Dems and *people feel* the Dems are better for the economy?
